Teach Yourelf MCSE Networking Essentials in 14 Days

This is a great book for all who wants to learn about networking. This books shows with a easy language all the essencial part of networks, like cabling, topologies, protocols and more. This book is said to help your own studies to the MCSE certification, but it goes far beyond: anyone who wants to learn about networking can easily read this book.

I used this book and The Sybex Networking Essentials book to study for the exam. I found that this book had most of the material and it was presented really well. I would say that the lack of a CD with testing questions or any type of sample test hurts the book Sample tests are really useful in my opinion. If you use this with a bigger book (like Sybex's) I think you will do fine. Although I had little or no experience, a more experienced person may find that this all they need. I passed on my first try with a 608.

Each Day aprox. consists of 20-30 pages, It doesn't take too long to read either, the words are typed up in a larger font. I would like to thank the author for writing such a great book.

A very good book for people trying to prepare for Networking essentials exam. Needs more work on questions and routing/bridging/gateway part, but if you can get your hands on good exam questions you will be OK. Only used this book and a sample questions and passed the exam on the first try.
